Usage notes

• X509CertificateToXmlDoc is very similar to DerToXmlDoc, except that X509CrlToXmlDoc understands the semantics of the certificate tags, so it provides more meaningful XML element names. Contrast the DerToXmlDoc example with the X509CertificateToXmlDoc example, below.
• X509CertificateToXmlDoc is a complete implementation of the PKCS standards for X509 certificates.
• Currently, no method is available to produce a DER stream from an XmlDoc nor to validate the signature on a certificate.
